Rule Summary and Background
It is the responsibility of the Division of Waste Management (Division) Solid Waste Section (Section) to
regulate how solid waste is managed within the state under the statutory authority of NC General Statute
(G.S.) Chapter 130A-294. State rules governing solid waste management are found in Title 15A,
Subchapter 13B of the North Carolina Administrative Code. G.S. 130A-309.57 gives authority to the
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) to adopt rules which govern the administration of scrap
tire collection sites and permits, which are found in Subchapter 13B, Section .1100 Scrap Tire Management.
Rules .1101 - .I 110 are proposed for readoption in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3A. Rules .1101, .1103,
.1104, .1105, .1106, .1107, and .1109, are proposed for readoption with amendments. Rules .1102, .1108,
and .1110 are proposed for readoption as a repeal. Rule .1111 is not proposed for readoption at this time
as it will be included with a package to consolidate rules regarding financial assurance at a later date.
The North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management approved the Regulatory Impact Analysis for
these rules on February 16, 2018, and the analysis indicated no impact to state or local government and no
substantial economic impact as a result of the amendments.

throughout the public comment period from June 15, 2018 to August 14, 2018. The Notice of Text is
included in Appendix A. The Division also sent a link to the published notice and regulatory impact
analysis for public comment to interested parties via e-mail on June 14, 2018.

comments, and the amendments were included in the proposed rules approved by the EMC at the May 10,
2018 meeting, and published in the NC Register during the comment period. The comment regarding Rule
.I I I I in the letter from Liberty Tire Recycling will be addressed when this rule is readopted as part of the
consolidation of financial assurance rules at a later date.

with the Division of Waste Management to please introduce the staff present. [Ms. Montie introduced
herself and Mr. Kim Caulk with the DWM Superfund Section].
This evening we are conducting a public hearing to take comments on the readoption of rules for Scrap Tire
Management 15A NCAC 13B .1101 - .1110 with proposed amendments. This hearing will be held
according to the North Carolina Administrative Procedures Act. The public notice for this hearing and the
proposed rule amendments have been published in the North Carolina Register and posted to the Division's
website. A regulatory impact analysis describing the impacts of the rule changes has been prepared by
DWM and approved by the Office of State Budget and Management, and has also been posted to the
Division's website. I will enter the public notice, proposed amendments, and regulatory impact analysis
into the hearing record without reading them at this time.
The rules being considered today are found in 15A NCAC 13B Section .1100 Scrap Tire Management.
The Environmental Management Commission intends to readopt the rules cited as 15A NCAC 13B .1101
through .1110 pursuant to the rule review requirements of G.S. 15013-21.3A. Proposed amendments to
the rules include:
- technical corrections and clarifications;
- consolidation of rules for tire collection sites and tire processing sites to reduce redundancy,
and
removal of redundant language that repeats the requirements of state laws or other state rules
Note that Rule .I I I I of this Section, titled Financial Responsibility Requirements, will be readopted or
repealed at a later date, as part of a set of rules concerning Financial Responsibility and Financial Assurance
for Solid Waste Management Facilities.
I will now open the hearing and take relevant comments on these rules. Any person desiring to comment is
requested to submit a written statement for inclusion in the hearing record. Once called to speak, please
come to the podium and state your name clearly, identifying the rule or rules you are commenting on, and
whom you represent. I will now call speakers to present their comments.
[No speakers were in attendance — see attached attendance sheet]
If there are no comments, then the hearing is closed. The hearing record will remain open until August 14,
2018 for additional written comments.

offlee of the Secretary

Department of EmAronment
and Natural ReSoUtC93
Liberty Tire Services of North Carolina operates two scrap tire collection and processing
facilities and two scrap tire disposal facilities serving the state. We consider ourselves a
partner with the state in providing safe management and recycling of a waste, that
absent needed regulatory requirements and private sector infrastructure, has been
shown to cause environmental and public health degradation. The need of our
continued work to ensur'e-proper management of scrap tires is further highlighted by the
recent spread and threat of Zika virus.'-.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed classifications and to offer
rule amendments for consideration during the readoption process. Liberty Tire Services
agrees with the Agency Determination of "Necessary with Substantive Public Interest"
for the rules of 15A NCAC 13B Section .1100 with the exception of rule .1102. Given the
permit and operational fees are now in statute, the old fees set out in rules are not
necessary.
The following is offered to assist in rule changes as readoption proceeds:
Rule. 1104 (a) should be amended to reflect the agencies policy of processing
necessary for disposal. A sentence to indicate that whole tires processed to a minimum
of cutting into quarters is no longer considered a whole tire and is suitable for landfiliing
should be added.
Rule. 1107(c) Should offer further flexibility by adding language that "Other methods to
control mosquitoes and rodents may be approved by the Division and incorporated in
permit conditions. :
Rule .1111 The Division should have the flexibility to consider factors such as the
availability and distance to-.a:disposal facility in setting financial assurance for collection
sites. Language should be -added as follows:

"(d) The Division may approve alternative amounts of financial responsibility required
under this section by a demonstration of the owner/operator that the coverage is
adequate to meet the requirements of (b) of this subsection."

rule readoption. If there are questions, please fill free to contact me at 704-905-1041 or
